Oh Canada!

Discovering Canada's Great Outdoors

By Gwen Morrison

Pages:  1  2  3  4  

One of the most popular trails is The Lookout Trail. This trail rises to over 76 metres above the tracks. Follow it to the top to discover the most breathtaking, panoramic view of the entire Canyon. There are large platforms at the top of the long wooden stairs that allow you to take a breather before absorbing the depth of the beauty before you.

No matter which trail you choose along the way, you will not be disappointed. Be sure to bring along a camera, sunscreen and comfortable shoes for your journey into one of the most memorable trips of your lifetime.

Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.)

The crescent moon-shaped island, located in the southern end of the Gulf of St. Lawrence is known for its lush lands, earning it the nickname of The Garden of the Gulf.

The unique landscape that combines forest and sea is a spectacular sight during the autumn season as the hills become ablaze with fiery reds and gingery oranges. Throw in a splash of the vibrant yellows of the poplar, birch and beech trees, and it becomes a pallet of amazing colours.

When bringing your family to P.E.I., be sure to make time to visit the Green Gables House in Cavendish. Prince Edward Island is famous as the setting for the book Anne of Green Gables by author Lucy Maud Montgomery. Continue your tour with a visit to the exhibit in the P.E.I. Visitor Information Centre at Gateway Village, where you will find information about the province along with some interactive displays to delight the children.

While touring western P.E.I. this fall, be sure to make a stop at the Mill River Provincial Park. With paddling, tennis, golf facilities and more, there is sure to be an activity to fit every member of the family. The West Point Lighthous is a must; be sure to take the trek to the top to take in the incredible view.
